Schuldenobergrenze / Debt Ceiling Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Schuldenobergrenze / Debt Ceiling:

It is simply science fiction fantasy to say that, if you do not raise the debt ceiling, that everything is going to collapse. Mike Lee

If you ask the question of Americans, should we pay our bills? One hundred percent would say yes. There's a significant misunderstanding on the debt ceiling. People think it's authorizing new spending. The debt ceiling doesn't authorize new spending; it allows us to pay obligations already incurred.

Peter Welch

I think it's important that people know what raising the debt ceiling is. It's Congress giving permission to the federal government to borrow more money that we don't have, and we borrow it for the purpose of spending it.

Michele Bachmann

The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised. I don't think there's anybody that questions the fact that if we ended up getting in a situation where the U.S. government was sending out IOUs like the state of California did at one point, that ends up creating quite a brand problem for our country.

Bob Corker

It is simply science fiction fantasy to say that, if you do not raise the debt ceiling, that everything is going to collapse.

Mike Lee

The debate we won't be having is whether or not the debt ceiling should be raised. We will not have a situation where people will hold the American economy hostage in order to achieve a specific agenda - at least not until 2013. So we think that is incredibly important as a matter of economic good.

Jay Carney

There was no avoiding the fact that we were going to hit our debt ceiling.

Bill Johnson

You watch television and see what's going on on this debt ceiling issue. And what I consider to be a total lack of leadership from the President and nothing's going to get fixed until the President himself steps up and wrangles both parties in Congress.

Steve Wynn

I would be embarrassed to tell you how many folks ran saying that they weren't going to spend a bunch of money, they weren't going to raise the debt ceiling, and then they went to Washington, D.C., and did exactly that.

Mick Mulvaney

I would vote against raising the national debt ceiling. Again, this is about mortgaging the future of unborn generations of Americans. It's a form of taxation without representation. I don't think we can do that.

Mike Lee

I don't see why anybody's playing chicken with the debt ceiling.

Austan Goolsbee

If it took multiple debt ceiling hikes, I'd rather achieve the savings.

Bob Corker

Not raising the debt ceiling is not an automatic trigger for a default.

Ted Yoho

Raising the debt ceiling is not additional spending. It is simply saying, you, the United States of America, can continue to borrow the money you need to pay the bills you have already rung up.

Jay Carney

I always think a debt ceiling is a good tool to carry something.

Mitch McConnell

I think at the end of the day we have to raise the debt ceiling, because America pays its bills.

Terri Sewell

It's not about what the speaker wants. It's not about necessarily what I want. There's two other principles involved here. It's what the constituents in my district want, and they didn't want to raise the debt ceiling unless there were significant structural reforms and spending cuts to help us balance our budget.

Tim Huelskamp

A lot of the Republicans wanted exactly what Barack Obama wanted, exactly what Nancy Pelosi wanted, exactly what Harry Reid wanted, which is to raise the debt ceiling, but they wanted to be able to tell what they view as their foolish, gullible constituents back home they didn't do it.

Ted Cruz

If we had decided on January 5, in the new House of Representatives, to make no new spending bills, the debt ceiling would've still been hit, because, those are bills that are coming in as a result of purchases and commitments made by the administration and the previous Congress.

Bill Johnson

When President Obama asked Congress to raise the debt ceiling $2 trillion and offered sequestration as an offset, I opposed it. I did not believe we should put the country $2 trillion deeper in debt and impose irresponsible massive cuts to our national security.

Mike Turner

We need to get rid of the debt ceiling law. It's anachronistic and it's a problem.

Mark Zandi

The only way you can raise the debt ceiling is to change the trajectory of spending - that's my personal preference. But I want the Ways and Means Committee to offer up a solution.

Jason Chaffetz

I'm not going to raise the debt ceiling.

Ted Yoho
